4AGE or 12A?
by admin on Apr.09, 2009, under Uncategorized
Today, aku pegi lepak dengan few friends of mine just to discuss on my engine transplant. Of all the engines available in the market, I’ve filtered down to two engines, its either 4AGE or 12A.
Both have pros & cons. I believe the 4AGE 16v has more strong points in terms of fuel consumption, parts availability and reliability. 4AGE is common right?! …with all the KEs & KPs running on the road with quad-throttle 4AGE, such typical.

The infamous Toyota's 4AGE
Now, Mazda’s 12A rotary engine is something different!!! The 12A rotary engine has more strong points of being unique & engine performance. Well ramai yang cakap 12A is something interesting to see since jarang orang pakai. Why 12A and not 13B or 20B, hehehe because of availability, tight budget and also simplicity (Carbureted, no ECU!)
Just imagine hearing the rotary sound! Memang stim! They use to say you gotta have balls of steel to play with rotary engines…

I can’t make my mind now & probably I need to do more survey. I’ll probably drop by few workshops specialize in rotary engine just to give me more ideas. Bukan semua orang tau to play with rotary kan
I ‘ve got all the time I need to make up my mind….. zzzz…zzzz
